After months of training, our board member finished in the quarter triathlon of Nuenen on July 3 2011. The combination of 1 kilometre swimming, 43 kilometre cycling en 10 kilometre running was a personal challenge, but foremost a goal to collect funds for the Planet Hope Learning Centre. With success: this fantastic sportive action raised a whopping 3300 euro. Thanks to all the people who generously made a contribution.

With pride we announce that mayor Aboutaleb of Rotterdam has become a member of the Recommendation Committee of the Planet Hope Netherlands foundation.
According to Ahmed Aboutaleb he wholeheartedly supports the objectives and activities of Planet Hope: offering underprivileged children a perspective for the future. "They can wake me up in the middle of the night if the rights of a child are at stake", says the mayor of Rotterdam with great passion. "Not only macroeconomic figures and policy issues but also the individual wellbeing of that one child is important. Every child that is saved, counts".
We are happy to say that besides mayor Aboutaleb various other prominent persons with either a political, societal or economical background have become members of our Recommendation Committee.
